Related to Caster Sugar
Sugar
Granulated sugar swaps 1:1 for caster sugar in most recipes, though its larger crystals dissolve more slowly. For meringues or smooth sponges, pulse granulated sugar in a food processor for a few seconds to bring it closer to caster's finer grain. See our Sugar converter.
Icing Sugar
Icing sugar is milled far finer and packs much lighter than caster (125 g vs 225 g per cup), so it is not a 1:1 swap. Use it only where a powder works, such as uncooked frostings and dusting, not for creaming into a cake batter. See our Icing Sugar converter.
Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is caster sugar's opposite in the creaming bowl: damp, clumping, and pressed into the cup instead of levelled off. Swap it in and the molasses brings moisture with it, so a sponge built for caster comes out denser, darker, and slower to dry out. See our Brown Sugar converter.
Raw Sugar
Raw sugar has large, coarse crystals that dissolve slowly, the opposite of fine caster sugar. It packs lighter (200 g vs 225 g per cup), so it is not a 1:1 swap by volume; weigh when substituting. See our Raw Sugar converter.
